The amount of cooper that are contained in 120 pounds of the brass is equal to 78 pounds.

Let the amount of copper be C.

<u>Given the following data:</u>

Quantity of brass = 120 pounds

Percentage of copper = 65%

To calculate the amount of cooper that are contained in 120 pounds of the brass:

In this this exercise, you're required to determined how many pounds of copper can be found in 120 pounds of the brass. Thus, we would solve for the percentage of copper contained in this type of brass.

$Copper = \frac{65}{100} \times 120\\\\Copper = 0.65 \times 120$

Copper, C = 78 pounds

PLEASE HELP PERSONAL FINANCE / LAUNCH QUESTION

Kobotan [32]

Answer:

option d: 25% unfavorable

Step-by-step explanation:

The budget is $40, and it was spent $50, so as the amount spent was higher than the budget, we have a unfavorable percent of variance.

The amount spent more than the budget was:

50 - 40 = 10

Now to calculate the percent of variance, we divide the value spent more than the budget (10) by the value of the budget (40)

Percent of variance = 10 / 40 = 0.25 = 25%

So the answer is 25% unfavorable, option d

A bag of skittles has 50 pieces of candy what percentage is orange ps. there are 11 orange skittles

Oliga [24]

Answer:

I think the answer is 22% but I am not sure

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentage solution with steps:

Step 1: We make the assumption that 50 is 100% since it is our output value.

Step 2: We next represent the value we seek with X

Step 3: From step 1, it follows that 100%=50

Step 4: In the same vein, x%=11.

Step 5: This gives us a pair of simple equations:

100%=50(1).

X%=11(2).

Step 6: By simply dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and taking note of the fact that both the left hand side of both equations have the same unit; we have

100% / X% = 11 / 50

X = 22%

Step 7: Taking the inverse (or reciprocal) of both sides yields

X% / 100% = 11 / 50

Therefore, 11 is 22% of 50.
